Chapter 1295
Camryn also had a younger brother who was protective of her, but it only lasted for a few years. Her mother went so far as to enroll her brother in a boarding school to stop contact between them.
Her mother got rid of anybody who was good to her.
“Didn’t you say the bouquet was for your fiancée?”
Callum said with a smile, “Have you ever heard about me getting engaged? I just made that up to fool your mom.”
Although Camryn was impaired in sight, she paid attention to the gossip about the wealthiest family in the city.
Sure enough, she had never caught wind of an engagement.
The only person who was tied down by a woman was Mr. Zachary, and his wife was Serenity.
After Serenity lent Camryn a hand, Mr. Zachary even told her stepfather that Serenity hit it off with her. Her stepfather had since been kinder to her.
Camryn’s stepfather treated her poorly in the past. While he would not torture or pick on her like her mom, her stepfather would keep mum whenever her mom and Carrie did anything to her..
He was a non–participating enabler and accomplice.
“Well, I won’t refund you the money though.”
Callum laughed. “It’s fine.”
He then added, “Sometimes, you appear unworldly like the material things do not matter to you. Other times, you can be quite the miser.”
“Money is a great servant but a bad master. You’re born into privilege, so you will never understand the passion I have for turning a profit.”
Callum had no words.
